Morgan Sokes

About Morgan

I am a licensed registered dietitian nutritionist with a M.S. degree in clinical nutrition from Rush University in Chicago, IL. I received my B.S. from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in molecular and cellular biology. I went on to become a teacher after obtaining my M.A. in science education w/ endorsements in biology, chemistry, and health. I have a passion for diabetes education, weight management, and whole food plant-based eating. I switched careers and entered the nutrition field after struggling with my own personal health journey in managing multiple chronic conditions. I discovered the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes and how important our food choices can be in how we feel and function.

Approach to care

I believe in an individualized approach, tailored to each client's specific needs and readiness to change. I believe in empowering clients with knowledge about how nutrition impacts health, and that big results begin with small changes. I make sure clients know the why behind all recommendations, and ensure they have the tools to implement all new behaviors and habits. The client's know their strengths, weaknesses, and bodies better than anyone else and they are the best experts in their health journey.
